   Mice like it. But...
February 24, 2009

I live in a row-house and have an on and off again love-hate relationship with mice. They love me. I hate them. I put these Contrac Blox in my detached garage and almost every morning they are nibbled at (there is a field behind the garages). They eat it but is it true that if the bait goes stale you have to throw it out? Does it become ineffective? How long? Is there an expiration date on the pail? I would hate to buy the 18 lb size and then have to throw most of it out. Help?

   This stuff is the best!
May 12, 2010
Verified Purchase

Living in a restaurant filled neighborhood in DC with unkempt neighbors on both sides of our house led to our backyard becoming a rat highway. It got so bad that we would have 6 or 7 running across every 5 mins. all night - and they were getting closer and closer to the house. We looked at all kinds of new fencing options only to realize it wouldn't have made a difference since they'd probably just burrow underneath it. We bought this and in less than 1 week's time, we have abolished every rat! We only had one meet his maker in the yard that we had to dispose of, the other hundred or so wandered off to die. It's been close a month now and we still have not seen one. This stuff is BAD A@!.

   Mice are gone!
August 23, 2005

We were getting rundown with field mice from the lot next to our home. Traps were not getting the job done. After 2 weeks using Contrac Blox Rodenticide the mice were gone....Thanx

   The "TRUTH"
March 13, 2010
Verified Purchase

This stuff is the truth. I've tried the Rex traps and other traps but those other methods just didn't get the job done. I live in a duplex with joining garages and my neighbor had dog food which attracted the rats. They were multiplying faster than I could trap them. I bought Contrac and placed them in stacks of three around my garage also stacked six of them where the garages joined. The next day the six were gone. I replaced the six with six more, they disappeared. Within five days not a sign of rats or droppings. I didn't even have to dispose of the dead rats. This is a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   Best I have seen
November 9, 2006

This is the best I have seen. I had a bucket of Contrac Blox rodenticide sitting in the barn and the rats ate a hole in the top of the bucket.

   No more mice. Period.
May 26, 2010
Verified Purchase

Mice became "midnight visitors" in our custom house, along with our neighbors, once a large tree near our property was felled. On our block, we just don't get mice, or any other unwanted intruders, so we became unsettled thinking we were living among these little guys. We tried havahart traps, tin-cats, snap traps, just about the whole kitchen sink but we still saw one or two around, knowing that meant there were many more nearby. We hired not one, but 2 exterminators on several different occasions who assured us that their poison (Warfarin) would do the trick. Again, it helped a little, but there was more work to be done. These "blox" did it. 10 days, no more mice. It's that simple. We didn't want to poison them, but at some point, knowing they were living amongst us and seeing droppings in our baby's room sealed the deal. If you truly want to be rid of "tough" resistant NYC mice, this is the product. Hands down.

   Contrac Blox Are the Best!
August 9, 2010
Verified Purchase

I have a rat phobia and NEEDED a product that worked. Contrac-Blox is it! One problem, though. I live in an avocado grove and had a bad infestation. Each morning, all six boxes of poison was empty and I would fill them up daily. When the UNTOLD NUMBER of rats began dying a few days later, my property smelled horrible for two weeks. Simple fix: With a bad infestation, only replace the bait every four or five days or use less bait stations. That should meter the number of dead rats and any given time to minimize any unfavorable odors. It might take an extra week or two to kill them all, but the olfactory aesthetics might be worth it! Bottom line: Contrac-Blox works very well, just don't overuse it, or it works TOO well!!! And, that is good!

   Works very well at reducing mice population
December 12, 2008

Contrac Blox Rodenticide works very well in reducing the mouse population. However, I have not been able to rid myself of mice completely. It has been 3 months and I have put out more bait and thrown out stale bait. How long before the bait gets stale anyway? Any tips from anyone would be appreciated.

   Must be good
July 8, 2007

It must be good. The rats chewed through the plastic lid of the Contrac Blox bucket which I had left hanging off the peg board wall.

   Great product
June 8, 2010

The Contrac Blox Rodenticide is keeping rats out of my house and out of my yard. It is easy to use, and rats love it. An additional benefit (in my opinion) is that small ground squirrels which were undermining my hill, worked their way into one of the bait stations and the Contrac blox got rid of them as well.

   Best mouse poison
August 17, 2007
Verified Purchase

I used to buy Contrac Blox in the store, but had not been able to find it.  It is the best mouse poison.  I hate to poison them, but we have camps and they ruin everything. I am so happy to have found it online.  It is the only poison that works well for my sisters and me [3 camps]. The mice that is!

Thank you so much for this wonderful product. We have been using it for quite a while and have gotten rid of a lot of mice all over the ranch. We live in the country and it has really done good by us. Again thanks.

   IT GOT THE JOB DONE ! ! !
September 12, 2012

I was very concerned because, for the first time in 45 years, a nest of rats was established under the stoop of my Brooklyn row house. The Contrac Blox I ordered arrived promptly -- and a "meal" was immediately set out for the unwelcome visitors. Within a week, I was able to remove 3 corpses -- and all activity seems to have ceased. The stuff works!

Great value - great product. I use this to rid my property of grey squirels and chipmunks, and it works great. This is the only product I have found that is tempting to chipmunks. Works great!

   Rat control - Contrac Blox
October 31, 2011

The Contract Blox Rodenticide works very well. I use it inside bait traps, attached to nails to the wall or loose in areas where there are no pets. The swimming pool pump room was severely infested with rats and during several days I left several pieces in the center of the room...every day they disappeared but after a week they were left intact..results: no more dropping or rats.

   Contrac Blox Rodenticide
October 15, 2011

First I tried traps, then I tried drowning them, then I tried a first generation poison; then I found Contrac. I am delighted with the product. You can break the blocks in half, cover them with a thin smear of peanut butter and ground squirrels will actually fight over who gets to eat the product. I think they're gone from my property but it appears I might be getting a few from neighboring properties so I'm doing a fall and spring "get rid of them" campaign. Be sure to wear "rubber" gloves.
